skilled in the art to which it appertains toy make and use the same.

This invention Vrelates to improvements in ball cock seat dresserguides.

One obj ect the inventio-n is to provide a dresser guidi@ by means ofwhich the seats of ball 4cocks or lfloat operated valves having bodieswithout threads, may be readily dressed without placing the same in aVlathe.

Another object of the invention is to provide a dresser guide which isadjustable to several sizes and is adapted to be used in connection witha bib seat dresser.r for the purpose of dressing the seat of a ball cockor closet valve. Y Y

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certainnovel features of construction,- and the combination and arrangement ofparts Vas will be more fully described and claimed. l

In the accompanying drawings; Figure 1 lis a central vertical sectionalview of a ball cock casing showing the invention applied thereto; Fig. 2is partly aV side view and partly a vertical sectional view of thedresser and the guide, showing the manner in which part'of the sectionsof the same are removed to reduce the guide to itsproper size to t thevalve casing to which the dresser' is to be applied. Fig. 3 is a sideview. of the dresser. Fig. 4 is a sectionalv perspective view of one ofthe sections of the guide.

Referring more particularly to .the drawings l denotes the'body orcasing of a ball cock or float valve 0f the usual forni wherein the bodyis jsmooth or has no screw threads and 2 denotes the valve seat.

My improved dresser guide ,comprisesv a vplurality of cylindrical vtubesor shells graduated Vin size and nested together or fitting one withinthe other whereby one or ymore vof the same may be removed to adjust fthe guide to the body or casing of the valve.

Onthe upper ends ofthe tubes or shells of theV guide are annularradially Vand Voutwardly projecting flanges 4, which hold the tubes inplace when in use. As clearly shown thetubes 8 arevof an'iequral lengthwhereby I when the annular outwardly projectingr shoulders of the-sameare in contact, th'eouter or larger tube will project beyond the innersurface of the valve casing l, whereby when it is desired to remove thetool'the dresser head-7 is brought in contact with the projecting loweredge of said outer tube and the tool together with the sleeve thereonreadily removed yfrom the valve. rlhe Aannular' Specification of LettersPatent. y ateted Sept. 16, 19131. y VAppiieaiimi inea June'io, 191.2.serial No. 702,848. u l

lianges of the sleeve also provide etlicient j means fo-r separating thesame by inserting a suitable toolbetween said flanges. Revolu-4 blyengaged with the linnermost tube or'slie'll .end an operating` knob orhead 8.

In applying the device, the outer tubes or shells 3 ofthe guide areremoved until the latter is o-f theproper size to lit within the.' ideis* valve'body o-r casing with which the to be engaged for guidingandholding the dresser while being operated in the usualV manner fordressing the valve seat.

Unless the body of a valve is threaded'itA has heretoforebeen impossibleto dress the valve seat of a ball cock without the samel being chuckedin a lathe. By providing my improved guide and substituting the same forthe usual threaded bonnet ofa bib dresser the valve seat may beaccurately connection with the y accompanying draw-V ings,the-construction and'operation of the invention will be readilyunderstood without requiring a more extended explanation.Y

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim is;

A ball cock drical tubes of uniform thickness throughoutv their entirelength, graduated in size vseati'dresser guidefcomprisi'ng j a pluralityof similarly constructed cyliny.

and telescopically connected, said tubes havf, j f ing smooth inner andouter surfaces ard ranged to slide freely 'within' each other,

radially projecting annular flanges formedv on the outer ends of saidtubes, whereby they are supported on each other `and one or more maybe'readily removed to adjust the deviceV tothe proper size forengagement with a ball cock, the lower edge of the. outer or larger tubeprojecting beyond the inner surface of the valve casing, a dresser stemslidably and revolubly arranged in the smaller tube, and

v a' dressing bit detaehably secured toMY .the myhani in presence of twosubscribig witlower end of thestem and adapted to be `messes.`
